Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II in Russia & Kazakhstan
I've just reached
home in Malaysia, after driving 17,000 km over 65 days in a 4x4 Range Rover,
starting from London and passing through Holland, Germany, Poland, Belarus,
Russia, Kazakhstan, China, Laos and Thailand.
I brought along a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II with a 16-35, a 24-70, a 70-200 and a
15mm Fisheye

enter Moscow by driving in from the East as I did
the "Lollypop" Cathedral, the signature image of Moscow, otherwise known as the
Cathedral of the Intercession or Cathedral of St Basil the Blessed.
this is the Cathedral of the Annunciation
there were many mosques too, especially in Kazakhstan
